Organisations And Management

This week,i was amazed by all i got to learn about Organisations,its features,structures and meaning,Management and Entrepreneurs.
An organisation is people working with resources available to achieve a particular goal.Charles Barnard  also defined organisation as a system of cooperative human activities.The structure of an organisation creates an effective impact on the performance of such organisation.I also understood that for  the proper function of an organisation,certain roles and responsibilities has to be taken up by people.And managing people effectively,creating good interaction and communication between the people in an organisation is also an important factor.
Management is the organisation an coordination of the activities of an enterprise,guided by certain policies and rules to achieve defined objectives.Mary Parker Follet(1868-1993) defined management as the art of getting things done through people.Management is result oriented,creative,innovative and it is a process.A good manager has to be a leader,spokes person,figurehead,he has to serve as a liason between staff and be able to monitor activities in the organisation.
Also this week,i had a presentation with my group mates.It had to be on an organisation and we chose TESCO.Its one of the worlds largest retailers and operates in 13countries.It deals on fresh groceries,home appliances,entertainment.I know about its organisational structure,how it adds value and its goal.
I also got to know what makes a successful entrepreneur and what drives an motivates them.Some of these qualities and skills i see in me and they are,learning from mistakes,confidence,drive,strong business minded and eager to learn from professionals.I want to be able to face stronger challenges,have power and above all be financially independent......(yessss thats very necessary too)

  2. This is a good entry showing clear academic knowledge and judgement. Good written style and evidence of research independently. I particularly liked your mention of Mary Parker Follet which you might consider mentioning in this weeks blog and compare her views to other classical theorists at the same tiime
